What is Earth? Just a defensive stone wall? Or a mighty but slow titan?
Why is antlion UP? How would you make it not UP?
Burrow seems to not get a lot of love, and there are lots of ideas to improve it. How would you improve burrow?
Build the best possible life/earth duo.
I like hematite/steel golems. Make me a good deck with 6 of them please.
How would you nerf graboid?
How would you buff plate armor?
Should PA be moved into like AW?
In your opinion, what is it that makes earth a force to be reckoned with?
Why can't it be both? Slow as it may be, I see it as some substantial juggernaut, capable of taking hits and dealing back in kind.
is similar in this regard, but focuses much more heavily on taking hits than taking damage, in my opinion, and carries the thematic in rushing by as opposed to
and its crushing potential.
Antlion is UP strictly because it is overshadowed by Graboid, which enters the field burrowed and achieves the same damage as it when burrowed. One way to fix this is by nerfing Graboid's base stats, as seen in a later question, or by modifying Antlion's ability, making it similar to what real Antlions accomplish, perhaps by burrowing a target creature as well.

If I were to nerf Graboid, I would actually cut its attack to 0 as so it doesn't overshadow Antlion and increase its ability cost to
instead. Shrieker already creates enough damage, although such an effect would really be detrimental to
as a whole, but assist in killing Grabbows to an extent.
If I were to buff Plate Armor | Heavy Armor, I would actually add on ability similar to
Spiked Shell.
No. AW has a wide range of targets and entertains combos in a variety of elements [
]. However, EA is much more specialized, countering only a choice set [
]. Even then, only a small handful of those are actually used and the others are very limited. So, in order to allow the viability of the use of these limited PC cards, EA should only be
and not be accessible to all elements, although SoFo is tempting me to say otherwise.
Although I rarely find myself doing so, Earth's stalling potential seems to be what comes out to be the best outside of the pure rush of Shriekers. With Diamond Shield, Warden, and BB, a considerable amount of damage is already cut and any damage taken can easily be recovered with a large SS. This is magnified when adding other elements such as
, as that adds extra healing.
